A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.240002 , discusses boosting UV Light Absorption in 2D Semiconductor with quantum dot hybrids for enhanced light emission.

Introduction.- Light Absorption by Water Molecules and Inorganic Substances Dissolved in Seawater.- The Impact of Light on Organic Molecules: Physical Principles.- The Absorption of Light by Dissolved ...

Aerosol scientists quantify the extent of light absorption by black carbon in fire clouds to better model climate impacts of extreme wildfire events. In an actively warming world, large-scale ...

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...

Spectroscopy, the study of light-matter interactions, is vital for understanding molecular properties and advancing ...

Surrey NanoSystems of Newhaven, England, has developed what it calls the “world's blackest material.” Formulated primarily as a coating for optical instruments in space, the material, which derives ...

Two-photon absorption and quantum light spectroscopy have emerged as transformative tools in modern optical research. At the heart of these techniques is the simultaneous absorption of two photons to ...

When it comes to keeping a vehicle cool during the scorching Arizona summer, color choice can indeed make a difference. White and light-colored cars tend to be a touch cooler than darker-colored ones.

Scientists have decoded the atomic structure of Photosystem I from a 3-billion-year-old cyanobacteria lineage, offering a unique look at early oxygen-producing photosynthesis. The ancient nanodevice, ...
